Huddly AS - Q1 2025: Revenue growth of 37 % - strategic review ended
Oslo, 15 May 2025: Huddly reported a revenue of NOK 45 million in Q1 2025 vs. NOK 33 million in Q1 2024, an increase of 37 %. Growth is driven by Channel sales, which increased by 55 % YoY. The Company maintained a solid gross margin of 53 %, an increase from 48 % in Q1 2024.
Huddly is actively executing its business plan towards 2027, with a strong emphasis on increasing revenue from Strategic partners. In Q1 2025, the Company turned a corner, marked by an acceleration in sales to these partners. This positive trajectory is expected to continue, with substantial growth anticipated in the coming quarters.
Huddly Crew continues to be an important growth lever, expanding a healthy base of customers. The multi-camera solution exemplifies how Huddly monetizes on AI and software innovation. By maintaining a strong gross margin of 53 % in Q1 2025, the Company demonstrates the market appeal of its AI powered product portfolio, while harvesting the returns from its R&D investments.
Key go-to-market activities include a global rollout of Huddly cameras at Microsoft locations, the commencement of shipping to end customers for the Shure IntelliMix room kits in May 2025, and the upcoming launch of the new C1 videobar in collaboration with Lenovo and Microsoft.
The Company initiated a strategic review following interest from a global industrial player, aimed at evaluating the Company’s long-term direction and partnerships. As communicated in February 2025, the company expected to conclude the process in Q2 2025.
The introduction of tariffs in the US from April 2025 led to significantly increased market uncertainty in the AV industry. The changed market environment has led to deferred decision-making and has effectively closed the M&A window for the time being. The Board will therefore end the strategic review process now but remains open to revisiting strategic opportunities should conditions change materially.
While a transaction is not anticipated in the near term, Huddly has through the process created and strengthened relations with global industrial players.
The Company is executing according to its business plan, and its AI-based technology and products are recognized as being best-in-class. The Board is confident that the significant commercial progress since last year has further strengthened Huddly's position and potential to create significant shareholder value.
